Towards Smart Wireless Body-Centric Networks
Samiya M. Shimly, David B. Smith
We investigate the existence of 'long-memory' or long-range dependence (LRD) of the wireless body-centric channels, e.g., on-body, body-to-body (B2B), with real-life experimental d…
Cross-Layer Designs for Body-to-Body Networks: Adaptive CSMA/CA with Distributed Routing
Samiya M. Shimly, David B. Smith, Samaneh Movassaghi
In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive carrier sense multiple access scheme with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) to perform efficient and reliable data transfer with increased th…
Wide-Sense-Stationarity of Everyday Wireless Channels for Body-to-Body Networks
Samiya M. Shimly, David B. Smith, Samaneh Movassaghi
The existence of wide-sense-stationarity (WSS) in narrowband wireless body-to-body networks is investigated for "everyday" scenarios using many hours of contiguous experimental dat…
Cooperative communications for sleep monitoring in wireless body area networks
Samiya Shimly, Samaneh Movassaghi, David Smith
This paper investigates the performance of cooperative receive diversity, for the wireless body area network (WBAN) radio channel, compliant with the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard, in the…
